Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan is likely to skip his appearance at the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Thursday and submit a written response to the questionnaire, media reports said.
The anti-graft watchdog had summoned the former prime minister in connection with the Al-Qadir Trust case today at 10 AM, according to Geo news.
The sources confided to local media that Imran Khan’s legal team has advised him not to appear in NAB in a personal capacity and, instead, to submit a written response to the 20 questions asked in relation to the corruption case, which also involves a property tycoon.
NAB Rawalpindi chapter had summoned Imran Khan and several other PTI leaders in connection with an investigation into the Al-Qadir Trust case on May 18.
In its notice, the anti-graft body sought details of the United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency (NCA) 2019 probe into assets worth £190 million from the ousted premier who is currently on bail in this case.
NAB had directed Khan to bring along details regarding the NCA investigation and all documents related to the Al-Qadir University including land papers, trust deeds, and bank statements.
The anti-corruption watchdog also warned the PTI chief of legal action in case of non-compliance with the summon.
